argentinian accents are ok in ap spanish??

<p>hola todos, soy de argentina aunque no soy una hablante nativa (la situacion es un poco loca jaja pero igual). este mayo voy a asistir al AP spanish language pero me di cuenta de que solo hablo bien el castellano de la Argentina en lugar del espa</p>

<p>help me please… i really don´t know if it is ok to speak spanish with Argentinian accents in the speaking seccion of the AP spanish… it would cost me a lot to learn it because i´m living in argentina now and ya me cuesta demasiado estudiar todo esto. will they deduct my points because of my pronounce?? will that be TOO MUCH for a five?? i’ll be in the AP exam this may…</p>

<p>gracias de nuevo!!</p>

<p>No te preocupes! I speak with a Chilean accent (it’s very distinct, and sounds really similar to an Argentinian accent, I’ve been told) and I had the same concern… I’m not a native speaker, either (it’s complicated for me, too,) and switching my pronunciation would be super confusing for me, so I talked to my teacher about it. She’s a Spaniard as well as a former AP grader, and told me that accent plays almost 0 role in grading. You can speak however you want–espa</p>

<p>I have a friend who wrote and spoke the entire exam in Portuguese and managed to get a 4. You will be fine.</p>

<p>^lolwut? Well, MC he could BS his way though, and speaking seems doable, but the graders surely noticed on the written section(s)</p>

<p>^Well probably, but I’m assuming that he had high enough MC and speaking that the writing was what brought him down to a 4. You can miss a lot on AP tests and still get a 4/5.</p>

<p>No, if you find anything in portuguese online, you will see that written it is a lot closer to spanish. But spoken it isn’t even remotely close. Spoken portuguese almost has a Russian-esque sound to it. So his writing would pull him down some, but there’s no way he would have gotten any points on the speaking</p>

<p>Lol I’m sure he got SOME points. My point is that he passed so I’m sure an Argentinian accent is fine.</p>

<p>^i find the topic of this thread has changed maravillosamente… anyway portuguese es mucho mas dificil para mi jaj</p>

<p>NO WAY. i think on the rubic, it says that u’ll get a 0 or a - if u speak in another language.</p>

<p>Just be careful to sound clear. My relatives from Spain tell me they can hardly understand people from Argentina sometimes.</p>

<p>Yo tengo un problema parecido y estoy bien preocupado sobre ma</p>

<p>If you ace everything but the speaking, you guys will be find</p>

<p>Just pray that you get a decent topic for the presentational speaking…</p>

<p>I know this late, but in case anyone wants it for future reference: I have two friends fluent in Spanish. One is from Spain and has the corresponding accent. Another lived in Bolivia from age 4 to age 14, she speaks Spanish with a mostly Bolivian accent (on some words you can tell she’s American). Both received 5s. About the Portuguese thing, one girl form my school did the same thing a few years ago and got a 5, she did the same for French and received a 4, clearly they don’t care that much.</p>
